ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 10:18 am I have a PCGS graded 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent. The slab says VF-25, but when I checked it up on the Certification Verification thing on PCGS.com, it includes the description of "BN" or Brown. Is this anything to be worried about? Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

mgillette Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 10:42 am I would assume virtually all VF-25 specimens would be BN. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 10:57 am Nothing to worry about. I don't know why they would place BN on it a mid grade cent...I have never seen an RB cent below AU. Let's see what it looks like! Edited by oih82w8 07/23/2014 11:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/24/2014 10:57 am It's possible that all cents are given the color designation (It was even seen for awhile on steel cents) but it is only printed on the label for AU and up. Why? because like oih82w8 said you don't have RB below AU or RD below MS. But BN can appear on any grade. Report this Post to the Staff
